“We’ve recovered six bodies from Sughanda point of Cox’s Bazar sea beach on Wednesday morning,” said Md Khairuzzaman, a senior police official in Cox’s Bazaar district, some 292 km south-east of the capital, Dhaka.
Law enforcers suspect that all the deceased were fishermen, and they drowned after their fishing boat encountered inclement weather in the Bay of Bengal.

He said, autopsies would be performed to determine the cause of death.
